Course
information
- All activities and assignments in this class will be
related to your American History II class taught by
Professor Jopp.
- One goal of Applied English is to help you with
the English you need to succeed in your
"American History II" elective.
- A parallel goal of Applied English is improving
your general English skills.
- All language skills are practiced: listening
comprehension, speaking, reading and writing. You will
work on reading, writing, listening comprehension,
discussion and presentation skills.
- Applied English meets separately and carries its own
credit. You will receive a separate grade for Applied
English.
